I remember getting into a heated debate with my late second uncle (pok sepupu) from Kg Ibok (I wonder if you know this kampung).

He was questioning the law banning the shooting of tigers.

I spent many hours looking into the Quran finding verses that support this ban.

At last I found one. It says man is created to uphold the equilibrium of this Earth. I showed to him and then he accepted my reasonings.

We have to look after our mountains, forest, swamps, rivers and oceans. They are there for many purposes - all for the benefit of mankind and animals.

But many abuse these wonderful gifts of Allah for their own, selfish short-term benefits. Trees are wantonly cut just to get cash. Swamps (the natural unbeatable air-conditioner) are filled up to build houses. Hills and mountains levelled for the sake of development. Rivers and seas polluted in the name of industriaisation etc etc.

In US and many other places that I visited they build houses right smack in between the trees. I saw a huge chestnut tree in my professor's kitchen. I asked her ( agorgeous blue-eyed Irish lady by the name of Denise Bounous) what if the branches fell down. Her answer surprised me - I'll repair the damage! On the other hand, in Malacca, the entire hill was stripped naked within a week just to build the Governor's house on top of it!

Yes, I know this Kampong Ibok but rarely went there.Ya, all around us we see damages, destruction,abuse and you name it....all forms of destruction is there. They are all for the benefits of mankind, some to one individual lots more to meet the demand. But most of the benefit go to the unscrupulous "money-makers".

AND that is why even if I had "slug pallets" I refrained from using them simply because I believe they are there for a purpose and they are Allah's being. Only sometimes I get quite annoyed when they climbed up my wall leaving "black residues" ...I could have done "ethnic cleansing and mass destruction" but I have no heart to persue (spelling?) this mission.they deserved to live too.

I have plenty of plants, so they could live healthily here.

I just went to the back of my house and noticed General M has done some destruction...this time to my bananas trees.

One GM tore up the "wrapping' around a bunch of bananas and yesterday they damaged tree number three. Number two is shown with picture and described in the poem entitled "General M".

(There are PUAS people up there mending the "paip rosak" now, so, I cant' go out yet to snap pictures of damaged trees yet). They loved to "hempap" themselves on the tree top.

Those pisang raja were planted since July 2006.Since then on each visit, they simply tore up the banana stumps. It took months for the tree to actually survive and grow tall.It just started bearing fruit last December...only Allah knows, rezeki siapa banana from this tree number one.

But never mind that,Life, banana trees and its bananas are meant to be shared.

AlFatihah

AL FATIHAHAllah in the name of The Most Affectionate, the Merciful.1. All praise unto Allah, Lord of all the worlds.2. The most Affectionate, The Merciful.3. Master of the Day of Requital.4. We worship You a lone, and beg You alone for help.5. Guide us in the straight path.6. The path of those whom You have favoured.7. Not of those who have earned Your anger and nor of those who have gone astray.

OUR ONLY PURPOSE AND SALVATION

Our only purpose and salvation lie in these two words.

We must come to know our Creator, Sustainer and Ultimate Judge. We must learn to believe in Him, thank Him, praise Him, honor Him and worship Him, alone without any partners from His Creation. We must learn about His Messengers and Prophets, peace be upon them, and the message with which they were all sent. We must learn the Word of God as was directly revealed, preserved and memorized and passed down by memory throughout all the generations of Muslims to the present day.

Those who are in search of truth, having open minds and hearts will recognize this as a message in truth and sincerity. Open your heart and your mind now and ask the Almighty God of the Universe [Allah] to guide you now to His True Way. And then be ready to accept your true purpose in life.

ALLAH

"Allâh is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is as if it were a niche and within it a lamp, the lamp is in glass, the glass as it were a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself), though no fire touched it. Light upon Light! Allâh guides to His Light whom He wills. And Allâh sets forth parables for mankind, and Allâh is All-Knower of everything." [Al-Nur 24:35]

About Me

I am another grandma blogger who has now grew another year older. NOT only ME! Everyone in the family has grown a year older as well. Little Harith who is now 3 years 9 months is so much of company. He rambles like his granny and keeping me so occupied. We sing, dance and browse the internet together looking for something new in the You Tube.He is familiar with "downloads", slow internet and he waits patiently for them to be fully accessible.
He has started going to a Tadika. Every morning he would give us all a loud below which is a sign of protest... I don't wanna go!
